UNITED STATES PATENT O EIcE WILLIAM P. WENTWORTH, 0E sENEcA FALLS, NEW YORK.

IMPROVEMENT IN KNEES FOR CHILDRENSSLEIGHS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 111,893, datedJanuary 4, 1876; application filed November 8, 1875.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that 1, WILLIAM P. WENT- WORTH, of Seneca Falls, in the county of Seneca and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Childrens Sleighs; and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, making a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 represents my improvement in po- Fig. 2 is an enlarged perspective view of the metal sleighknee.

Letters of like name refer to like parts in each of the figures.

The object of my invention is to make a simple, cheap, durable, and easily-applied knee also branches near the top, spreading sufficiently to receive the wooden beam J of thescrews. There is also a brace, D, which is beneathand serves to support the plate H.

The standard I, the braces O, the plate H, and the brace D are all cast in one piece, and do away entirely with the former tedious and expensive mode of tenoning andbracing of sleigh beams and knees.

I am aware that a sleigh-knee having two braces and a recessed support upon its top, all cast in one piece, is not new, and this I disclaim.

Having described my invention, I claim as new- The standard I, having the braces O. at its lower end, the brace D at its upper end, and the plate H, the whole being cast in a single piece, substantially as shown and described WILLIAM P. WENTWORTH.
